Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 278 The Attitudes of the Demon Race and the Great Bandits
Qi Hao's mouth is incredibly powerful!

Moreover, he was arrogant and unruly. Let alone a mysterious and powerful stranger hiding his face, even the Peacock King did not have much face in front of Qi Hao. He would argue if he disagreed with someone. Even the Peacock King did not have much temper in front of Qi Hao.

How long has that powerful clone been in contact with Qi Hao?

A quarter of an hour?

No, it didn't even last half a quarter of an hour before the other party angrily attacked.

The other powerful demons nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

They even invited several other notorious bandits in the Holy City—Tu Tian, ​​Li Heng, and others—to come and protect Qi Hao together.

Qi Hao has once again provoked a supreme expert. With just a few words, the supreme expert unleashed his killing intent, willing to burn his essence and soul to kill him.

And most importantly, what just appeared and was killed was merely an avatar of that supreme expert.

The opponent's true form is definitely in the Holy City, and may not be too far from Qi Hao's location.

Given the resolute attitude of the other party's clone, it's not hard to predict that if given the chance, the other party would definitely make a move without hesitation.

For Qi Hao's safety, four powerful demons and six bandits gathered around.

Ten powerful figures made no attempt to conceal their auras, releasing them within the Holy City!

This is also a signal to everyone, showing that neither the Thirteen Bandits nor the powerful demons have any intention of attacking the Jiang family; they are simply protecting Qi Hao.

"Ten powerful figures providing close protection—how many people in this era can enjoy such treatment? Even the heirs of ancient aristocratic families or the holy sons of holy lands might not receive this kind of treatment, right?"

"Truly worthy of being called the Red-Haired Demon King, feared even by families of Origin Arts!"

"This is the Northern Region. For all the major powers, Qi Hao's importance is far too special; it can no longer be measured by strength or status!"

Someone spoke in shock.

It wasn't just because of Qi Hao's "recklessness," but also because of the protection Qi Hao received from the powerful demons and bandits!

This is already considered the highest level of protection!
The ten powerful figures each released their auras at the edge of Qi Hao's palace.

Ten beams of light pierced through the universe, illuminating the night and reflecting off the distant Dragon Transformation Pool.

Outside the holy city, countless eyes are watching this place.

Some people looked on with envy, while others looked on with contemplation.

However, given Qi Hao's importance, he certainly deserves so many people to protect him.

Qi Hao found a total of ten stones in Yaochi Stone Workshop. In addition to the nine he took with him, there was one more stone for Tu Fei.

That very piece yielded a divine source the size of a watermelon, containing even a drop of ancient saintly essence blood brimming with vitality!

The contents cut from just this one stone are worth at least a million kilograms!
Not to mention, Qi Hao also took nine stones with him without cutting them in the stone workshop, so no one knows what's inside those nine stones.

Qi Hao's overwhelming superiority in Origin Techniques is undeniable.

To put it bluntly, as long as Qi Hao is alive, those bandits won't even need to travel around committing crimes anymore. Just by entering the stone workshops and buying and gambling on stones in the most tactful way, they can become the nightmare of the major holy stone workshops, causing them even greater losses.

Therefore, Qi Hao's importance even surpasses that of some major bandits, belonging to the "ultimate imperial weapon" unique to major bandits!
However, the high profile of these ten powerful figures still attracted a lot of attention.

Ji Family Stone Archway, Jiang Family Stone Archway, Yaoguang Stone Archway...

Wait, many powerful figures are watching that area.

The ten powerful figures released their auras, which shone like stars even in broad daylight. "The demon race and the bandits have completely revealed themselves. Although... it's not of much use."

A peerless expert spoke up, saying softly.

Even if the main body remains still, for those peerless powerhouses, the clones that are separated still possess the combat power of a powerhouse and can exert a great effect.

However, this already shows great sincerity.

The demon race and the bandits, a total of ten powerful figures, have already demonstrated their sincerity by going this far.

They can't go any further and just go to the Dragon Transformation Pool to stay there and have a face-to-face conversation to prove that they won't split into clones, can they?
"The heavens of the Holy City are bound to change eventually..." someone sighed softly.

The great battle that broke out among the demon race proves that powerful figures have already taken desperate measures to prevent the God King from reviving.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, a powerful aura erupted from where Ye Fan was!
"Hand over the divine artifact cut from the Ji family's stone workshop! Otherwise, you will not escape!" someone shouted, wielding a heavenly blade and unleashing a full-force slash.

He was indeed a powerful figure!
This strike will definitely be enough to kill the Supreme Elder of the Sendai Secret Realm!
Although Ye Fan possesses the Ancient Sacred Body, he is only at the Dao Palace Secret Realm, so he definitely cannot withstand this attack.

However, a terrifying giant handprint descended, and the Holy Master of the Ji family appeared beside Ye Fan at some unknown time, suppressing his opponent with a giant handprint in the void.

The powerful figure roared and slashed through the void with his Heavenly Blade, intending to shatter the Ji family's Holy Master's large hand and kill Ye Fan behind him.

However, as a Holy Lord, the Ji family's Holy Lord is a supreme being. When it comes to combat power, even the Peacock King, who can shatter mountains and rivers with his roar, would not dare to say that he can suppress the Ji family's Holy Lord.

"Destroy!" The Holy Lord of the Ji family shouted softly, and countless black cracks spread from his hand, devouring the bright sword light. Even the powerful figure behind him was swallowed up by the void rifts, losing half of his body.

“Still a puppet!” Ye Fan’s eyes were solemn.

Since last night, two "powerful beings" have already died, and this one should be the third.

However, these three powerful beings were all puppets or clones, not their true selves.

As expected, after the Holy Lord of the Ji family suppressed the opponent with overwhelming force, only a few pieces of broken divine iron and jade remained on the spot.

"Utterly worthless," the Holy Master of the Ji family said calmly.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Ye Fan suddenly spoke up, "Senior!"

The Holy Lord of the Ji family remained stationary, making no move.

"I want to go to the Dragon Transformation Pool," Ye Fan said.

The God-King had bestowed upon him the grace of teaching him the Way, and he felt obligated to repay that grace, both morally and logically.

The Holy Lord of the Ji family nodded calmly.

“That seed…” Ye Fan spoke again.

The seed had a very special origin. Although it was cut from the Ji family's stone workshop, Ye Fan did not buy it. It was considered his "shared wealth" with the Ji family.

"The ancestor has already given it to you. How you handle it is your business. I will not interfere." The Holy Master of the Ji family transmitted his voice, and then his figure merged into the void and disappeared in an instant.

Ye Fan took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ye Fan walked towards the Dragon Transformation Pool.

Secretly, someone couldn't hold back any longer.
